A new Youtube channel for all the ladies There is nothing like a better pick-me-up than having GREAT hair on a daily basis. Razor straight or VS-like curls, the hair is a woman’s crowning glory and it pays to have those tresses taken care of but how? Good news ladies – your online source for hair solutions and inspiration has finally arrived. Agoo Bengzon and Joey Mead King In partnership with Unilever and Google, All Things Hair PH is our local beauty website for literally – all things hair! To spearhead the beauty movement, we were guided by Agoo’s years of expertise. “As much as we Filipinos turn to international video bloggers for advice, with our weather, our products, our hair type and other factors affecting our hair, solutions from other countries aren’t as tailor fit for us.

It’s Britney, bxtch. I’ll always remember buying and fangirling over those 90’s casette tapes of JLo and Britney when I was younger. Attempting to sing like them (nope, no chance), dress like them (nope, too young) and lastly – have pretty hair like theirs. Korean salon in Bel-Air, Makati I’ve always wanted highlights but people somehow made it seem like it might be too over the top or unnatural … until you meet the right people who know their stuff. I’m glad I did – at Gionyx! at Gionyx Hair and Nail Salon Above everything always, I’ll forever love the genuine kind service at Gionyx. I walk in on a Sunday and the salon is quite busy. I was willing to wait for my turn til the receptionist Joy noticed I looked sleepy (and I SUPER was! Zzz). She asked if I’d like to take a nap in their VIP corner and gave me some pillows. Believe it or not – I woke up 2 hours later. Deep sleep! They even offered me tea when I woke up! :)) Much needed R&R Anyway, now the pampering starts! I super love the service at this salon because 1. They only suggest…

Mademoiselle Yuki Ever since I was younger, I’ve always been fascinated with my classmates who take special ballet classes. The grace, balance, and elegance of it is so enchanting. Their cute flats with a satin ribbon tied round the ankle. How they twirl their bodies flawlessly in their tulle costumes. I think there is a ballet dancer in each one of us!
